Erwin loved his family and was a Christian with a deep faith in Jesus Christ. He loved attending weekly devotions.

Erwin had a love for beautiful things, particularly his many roses that he used to enjoy taking care of. He was very creative. He expressed his talent in designing and building custom homes for a number of years. Erwin had the most infectious smile that everyone loved seeing. He was known for that. His smile brought a lot of joy to many people throughout his life.
